Here’s What You Need

Here are the supplies you need to try the patterns below that you can easily find at any online craft store:

Fall Leaves

This fall leaf pattern features several designs that you won't find in nature, but they let you get creative with designs. Moreover, since this pattern involves a variety of intricate dashes, swirls, and knots – you can use the end product as a stitching sampler.

For those just learning the craft of embroidery, this is a great way to hone your skills and experiment with new patterns. Simply pick the stitches you want to learn and work them into multiple leaves.

Floral Wreaths and Bunches

If you're into needlework and flowers, you need to learn to embroider a bullion rose. The bullion knot is a more complex stitch, yet this lovely flower couldn't be more straightforward to create. First, a cluster of satin stitches or French knots forms the rose's core. From there, bullion knots spread outward.

Create a beautiful embroidery piece by stitching together bullion roses, some lazy daisies, and simple leaves. A lone rose with just a couple of leaves around it is also a super simple yet dainty design.

Tip: Try creating curved bullions. The wrapping in curved bullions is longer than the stitch.

Tiny Hearts

Tiny little hearts, measuring only about a quarter of an inch in height, can be used on their own or combined with other elements to create something entirely new. For instance, you can fill in an empty heart silhouette with little hearts in one or different colors.

Embroidering intricate details is a lot of fun but it can be challenging. Often stitching delicate details calls for using a new, complicated stitch that you haven’t tried before. To embroider miniature hearts, you can either use two fly stitches worked as scallops, or use a scroll stitch.

Tip: Scroll stitches can be worked either left-to-right or right-to-left. But if you want to make a heart, work vertically.
